YSI Data Scout Advanced - Manual (Page 7)

Figure 1.1
When exiting Data Scout Advanced, the current site’s definition (including ID information if already read from each transducer) is
automatically saved in a default site net file (DSAdv.net). This “latest” site net is restored automatically the next time Data Scout
Advanced is started. Menu sub-items on the File menu allow the user to create, save, and/or open other explicitly named site nets (.net
files). Select File | New Site Net to create a new site, select File | Save Site Net or File | Save Site Net As to save a new site or copy a site,
or select File | Open Site Net to open an existing site. When changing site networks, a prompt will appear allowing the user to save or
discard the current site network information.
When a site net has one or multiple transducers defined, any single individual transducer may be highlighted on the current Site Net
Map by left-clicking its row (figure 1.2).
Figure 1.2
Once a row is highlighted, its transducer has been selected to be acted upon by a subsequently performed menu function. Some menu
functions allow multiple transducers to be selected while others require that only a single transducer be selected.
By holding the <Ctrl> or <Shift> keys on the keyboard when left-clicking the mouse, the user can select multiple transducers on the
Site Net Map simultaneously.
Whether a particular menu item operates on one or multiple transducers is indicated by a descriptive item, in parentheses, at the end
of that menu item’s descriptions line. For example, (HiLi Xdcr) means it affects only one selected transducer, while (HiLi Xdcr(s))
means it affects all highlighted transducers. A special case (ONLY Xdcr) means that the function only works if ONE transducer is
defined on the Site Net Map (figure 1.3).
